After having Opera up for two minutes, the browser apparently
closes itself.

No keyboard or mouse input is required for this behavior to occur.
As far as I can tell, it is entirely time-dependent.

Using QT static build on RH 7.2.

Have you tried the appropriate shared build?

When you say RedHat 7.2, how much have you updated that? I mean, 7.2 was 2
or 3 years ago now, you might have installed a number of updates ...

I don't believe there is any that is appropriate. That's been the
case since 7.50.

I have kept it at 7.2, with RH-supported updates through early
2004, with some 7.3 libraries. I do not feel compelled to reinstall
my OS every 60 days. The system is quite stable.

Anyhow, running it from a prompt shows that it's dumping core.

linux:/home/mark 2% opera &
[1] 8563
linux:/home/mark 3%
[1] Segmentation fault opera (core dumped)

I have eight of 'em, if the Opera folks are interested.

I had a similar problem when I went from version 5 to version 6. I had to
relocate the old config directory, ~/.opera, by renaming it to something
else. Then start Opera and let it create it fresh. Perhaps it might help
for you as well.

Starting opera with "--personaldir " is a simple way of
starting without personal preferences.

opera --personaldir new-dir

where "new-dir" is the name of a directory that does not exist, will
create "new-dir" and use that instead of $HOME/.opera.
